How to add a progress/loading bar in WebView

Question

I developed a website for my entreprisee and I work almost exclusively with PHP

So the Java language (and android studio) is a really new for me

Despite this I have to create an APK to use the website (in order to block the android home on this site)

For the moment I managed to set up refresh pages, and now I am trying to add a progress/loading bar to my application that uses WebView but it doesn't work ..

MainActivity.java

import android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    WebView webView;

    SwipeRefreshLayout swipe;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        swipe = (SwipeRefreshLayout) findViewById(R.id.swipe);
        swipe.setOnRefreshListener(new SwipeRefreshLayout.OnRefreshListener() {
            @Override
            public void onRefresh() {
                webView.reload();
            }
        });

        LoadWeb();

    }


    public void LoadWeb(){

        webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        webView.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true);
        webView.loadUrl("https://www.google.com/");
        swipe.setRefreshing(true);
        webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){

            public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {

                webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/error.html");
            }

            public  void onLoadResource(WebView view, String url) { //Doesn't work
                swipe.setRefreshing(true);
            }

            public  void  onPageFinished(WebView view, String url){

                //Hide the SwipeReefreshLayout

                swipe.setRefreshing(false);
            }

        });
    }

    @Override
    public void onBackPressed(){

        if (webView.canGoBack()){
            webView.goBack();
        }else {
            finish();
        }
    }
}

Activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="eu.test.testappli.MainActivity">

    <android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
        android:id="@+id/swipe"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <WebView
            android:id="@+id/webView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

    </android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

It may seem simple, but the java remains obscure for me so I can not implement the pieces of code that I find on the web ..

            super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
            progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }


            public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {

                webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/error.html");
            }

            public void onLoadResource(WebView view, String url) { //Doesn't work

                swipe.setRefreshing(false);
            }

        });


    }

    public void LoadWeb() {

        webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        webView.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true);

            webView.goBack();
        } else {
            finish();
        }
    }

Thank you but what should I import? Because I have lot of error — Rocstar, Dec 19 '17 at 11:20
Thank you for your help ! But I don't have the same result. In fcat, I have the title bar and I don't show the progress bar — Rocstar, Dec 19 '17 at 11:28
@Rocstar can explain exact problem because it working in my device — AskNilesh, Dec 19 '17 at 11:30
When I change page (for example when I do a research) I don't have the progress bar so if the network is slow the user does not understand why it does not work — Rocstar, Dec 19 '17 at 11:33
I'm in a meeting I tell you that in twenty minutes, thank you very much — Rocstar, Dec 19 '17 at 12:01
"Unfortunaly, Chrome has spotted" I have this error when I run the app in my Android Emulator, how I can see the exacte error ? Thank you — Rocstar, Dec 19 '17 at 12:34

Thank you ! I have one last question, how can I prevent the page from going down (then back) to each load? I modified View.VISIBLE in onPageFinished but that simulate a load, I would just like a band — Rocstar, Dec 19 '17 at 13:29
**EDIT :** t's necessary to put progressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); Thank you for all your help @Nilu — Rocstar, Dec 19 '17 at 13:45

This may help you.

Inside WebViewClient:

  @Override
     public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {

      super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
      findViewById(R.id.progress1).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
     }

    @Override
    public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
        findViewById(R.id.progress1).setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }

In the XML add this :

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progress1"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

I think that you best option to do that, it's use Cordova. Include your web in there and compile it like an Android app.

You need to set ProgressBar over the WebView, take look my code I have did it.

This is my activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/webView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/progressBar1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

In MainActivity.java I had handled ProgressBar show/hide functionality.

MainActivity.java

   @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        webview = findViewById(R.id.webView1);
        pbar =  findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);
        webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
        webview.loadUrl("https://www.ndtv.com/");
    }

    public class WebViewClient extends android.webkit.WebViewClient {
        @Override
        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
            super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            view.loadUrl(url);
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
            super.onPageFinished(view, url);

            /*** Hide ProgressBar while page completely load ***/
            pbar.setVisibility(View.GONE);

        }

    }

Check a result,

ProgressBar visible while page being load

ProgressBar will hide while URL completely load

In XML File :-

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/mProgressBar"
    style="@style/Base.Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

In MainActivity :-

        webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient(){
        @Override
        public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int newProgress) {
            super.onProgressChanged(view, newProgress);
            mProgressBar.setProgress(newProgress);
        }

        webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String request)
        {
            webView.loadUrl(request);
            return true;
        }
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
            mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            super.onPageFinished(view, url);
        }
